About

EGD2021

Features

Read full description

This version of the app is written by Lam Yeung Shun under the supervision of Dr. Shiu Yin Yuen. The application will act as a guide dog, as an auxiliary tool to guide the visually impaired people (VIP) to the destination in both indoor and outdoor environments. Under the guidance of the navigation, the VIP can easily follow the instructions from the recorded path. The path can be recorded by themselves or received from other users.

Read full description

Welcome to the MyPath project. We aim to build an accessible routing and navigation system for wheelchair users to get to their destination from any source location. We achieve this by identifying surface types from user-collected vibrational patterns and subsequently use the surface type and incline information to generate end-to-end personalized accessible routes.
